FARM WITH FUNCTION, SPIRIT & ACCOMMODATION

Remove any opportunity blinkers and see above and beyond what is obviously a magnificent and unique prospect offering a myriad of uses, openings and returns.

Dare to dream to the next step that presents itself once in a lifetime but can only be embraced if the eyes are open and the mind alert. Allow me to introduce Skilly Hills Farm. An offering like no other that comprises accommodation, function rooms, a chapel, commercially equipped facilities, land, water, views, history and modern technology.

Skilly Hills is a vision of blessed historic rustic romance dating back to the 1800s now sympathetically blended and enhanced with extensive modern architecturally designed facilities and quality constructed additions completed in 2002.

With the 1862 stone Gothic Chapel of magnetic attraction the standout centre piece of the widespread multifunctional residence, the remaining 100 acres of surrounding meticulous grounds, fertile plantations and gently rolling rural landscapes are a naturally peaceful perfection of completion.

On paper, the floor plan of the entire property now comprises two function rooms, one within the thick stone walls of the chapel featuring gothic timber shutters and doors. Its history and ambiance is palpable. The other is a feature of the modern amenities with high tech communications.

A sparkling near new commercially functional kitchen within the newest addition would impress the most fastidious of chefs and handles numbers with ease. A fully self contained residence, an ideal managers quarters with modern tasteful and more than comfortable inclusions, is also located within this latest section of the complex.

A character filled two bedroom fully self contained 1800s cottage has been cleverly incorporated to join with the new additions and this charming residence with its sash timber windows and wrap around verandah also has room to include a separate lounge for an added private setting.

An underground dry cellar with lift, quaint courtyards and enclosed verandahs soak up the views and drink in the sunshine. Fully licensed, centrally heated and air conditioned with various modern telecommunications, the property is audio visually equipped and connected. In total the entire complex spans over 400sqm in a most efficient and effective manner.. but thats just what is on paper! What cant be measured or line drawn is the indecipherable blend of old and new. The exquisite detail of quality and character and the uninterrupted flow of functional use of separate properties that, when required, become one.

The spectacular panoramic views of nothing but nature and big blue open skies wrap themselves around this charm filled property. Skilly Hills fertile landscape is a produce pocket for over 1000 olive trees and around 750 carob trees. Irrigated from the propertys dam and lined meticulously for presentation as well as production, this tree lined treasure presents a further opportunity to this already outstanding acquisition where water worries have never crossed the brows of the landholders.

Two bores, a 30,000 gallon rainwater storage tank and a complex of large shedding, workshops and an insulated storage room more than easily equip the plantation for production.

See change, look through the window of chance and you can clearly lock your eyes onto a somewhat indulgent choice of a private country retreat or a future B&B if the need to share becomes overwhelming. Perhaps a function centre with further accommodation possibilities or a health and wellness retreat that today is of growing demand, ticks all the right nature boxes and peaceful calming and spiritual requests. Or purely production of a farming kind with the finest palatial farm house across the land could also be considered with this time honoured temptation.

Skilly Hill is set slightly elevated and quietly confident within the surrounds of the Clare Valley and just 10 minutes from the quaint township of Auburn. Clare is around just 20 minutes away and Adelaide approximately 80kms south through the vines and picturesque countryside. An easy escape from city life.

Propped up with famous vineyards, year round tourism and fertile farming of the Clare Valley, Skilly Hill is well placed to contribute and receive from the spoils of this beautiful, bountiful and well regarded piece of South Australia.

This is your opportunity to write the script of your own dream and wake when you decide.
